| human menopausal gonadotropin | A hormone of pituitary originally obtained from the urine of postmenopausal women now produced synthetically; used to induce ovulation. See: menotropins. (05 Mar 2000) |

| equine gonadotropin | <veterinary> Formed by the equine placenta. Its activity in animals is similar to that of the follicle-stimulating hormone; relatively ineffective in human beings. Synonym: pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| equine gonadotropin unit | <veterinary> The specific gonadotropic activity of 0.25 mg of standard preparation of the gonadotropic principle of pregnant mares' serum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenocorticotropic releasing factor | Hormone produced by hypothalamus that causes pituitary to secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastrin-releasing peptide | <hormone> A regulatory peptide (27 amino acids) thought to be the mammalian equivalent of bombesin. It elicits gastrin release and regulates gastric acid secretion and motor function. It causes bronchoconstriction and vasodilation in the respiratory tract and stimulates the growth and mitogenesis of cells in culture. Once released from nerves in the antrum of the stomach, the neuropeptide stimulates release of gastrin from the g cells. Chemical name: Gastrin-releasing peptide (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, corticotropin-releasing hormone | Cell surface proteins that bind corticotropin-releasing hormone with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behaviour of cells. The corticotropin releasing-hormone receptors on anterior pituitary cells mediate the stimulation of corticotropin release by hypothalamic corticotropin releasing factor. The physiological consequence of activating corticotropin-releasing hormone receptors on central neurons is not well understood. (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, thyrotropin-releasing hormone | Cell surface receptors that bind thyrotropin releasing hormone (trh) with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behaviour of cells. Activated trh receptors in the anterior pituitary stimulate the release of thyrotropin (thyroid stimulating hormone, tsh). Trh receptors on neurons mediate neurotransmission by trh. (12 Dec 1998) |
| releasing factors | Hormones produced by the hypothalamus whichstimulate the release of other hormones in the pituitary gland. (09 Oct 1997) |
| releasing hormone | Hormones produced by the hypothalamus whichstimulate the release of other hormones in the pituitary gland. (09 Oct 1997) |
| melanotropin-releasing factor | A hexapeptide similar to oxytocin; it stimulates the release of melanotropin. Synonym: melanotropin-releasing factor, melanotropin-releasing hormone. Origin: melanotropin + L. Libero, to free, + -in (05 Mar 2000) |
| melanotropin-releasing hormone | A hexapeptide similar to oxytocin; it stimulates the release of melanotropin. Synonym: melanotropin-releasing factor, melanotropin-releasing hormone. Origin: melanotropin + L. Libero, to free, + -in (05 Mar 2000) |
| gonadotrophin-releasing hormone | <hormone> The peptide hormone that control reproductive function. It produced and released by the hypothalamus and controls the production and release of gonadotrophins from the pituitary gland. It causes the production of luteinising hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Synonym: gonadotropin-releasing factor, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, luteinizing hormone/follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing factor, gonadoliberin. Origin: Gonad + L. Libero, to free, + -in (19 Sep 2002) |
| growth hormone-releasing factor | <endocrinology> Peptide hormone related to the glucagon family, released from the pituitary, acts on the adenohypophysis to release growth hormone. Synonym: somatoliberin, growth hormone-releasing factor. (20 Sep 2002) |
| growth hormone-releasing hormone | <endocrinology> Peptide hormone related to the glucagon family, released from the pituitary, acts on the adenohypophysis to release growth hormone. Synonym: somatoliberin, growth hormone-releasing factor. (20 Sep 2002) |
| pituitary hormone-releasing hormones | Hormones released by one structure (e.g., the hypothalamus or the thyroid gland) that effect the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
